Legacy of Faith Capital Campaign


Legacy of Faith Capital Campaign: Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing

For 125 years, Mercy College of Health Sciences has provided aspiring health care professionals with an exceptional education alongside hands on experience. Throughout those years, Mercy College has continuously evolved to meet the needs of the ever-changing world of healthcare to ensure students are fully prepared to enter the workforce.

Today, Mercy College has proposed the Legacy of Faith Capital Campaign to support the Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing and to fulfill our community’s need for nurses. A $15 million fundraising campaign was initiated with a generous lead gift of $2.5 million from Terry and Joyce Lillis. This campaign will bring a self-contained school of nursing under the Mercy College of Health Sciences umbrella.

The future 24,000 square foot newly constructed Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing supports our most in-demand educational offering, nursing. The new space will include state-of-the-art simulation labs, modern classrooms, and essential resources that will equip future nurses with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their careers.

Consider making a gift to the Joyce E. Lillis School of Nursing through this year’s Annual Campaign. Donations will allow Mercy College to stay at the forefront of healthcare education and allow countless students to pursue their calling of faith and healing.
